Trumpism

Trumpism is an alt-right political ideology that originated with American businessman and presidential candidate Donald Trump in 2015. Trumpism's inspirations included right-wing populism, the alt-right political movement, xenophobia, nativism, and nationalism, and he attracted supporters from both the rich and the poor, with both sides supporting lower taxes. Trump was known for using controversial statements to attract more popularity among voters who were disillusioned with the United States government, using harsh terms to criticize opponents and using divisive statements to define his stances. His political views were self-described as "flexible", having previously switched political parties seven times before he joined the US Republican Party for the 2016 presidential election. However, his views on illegal immigration was his signature, and he promised to "Make America great again".

Views
Trump combined right-wing populism and nativism, rallying his supporters against Muslims and Mexicans and telling his supporters that he was going to enforce a ban against Muslims from entering the country, as well as forming a plan to build a wall with Mexico after deporting 11,000,000 illegal immigrants. Trump promised free health care for Americans as well as reduced taxes, while he also sought to build up the military and invade Iraq to crush the Islamic State. His views catered to uneducated poor and middle-class Americans, with 85% of non-college graduates in the state of Mississippi supporting him by 24 August 2016. Trump also attempted to attract non-white voters into joining the campaign, giving an August 2016 speech which stated that African-Americans were living poor lives, being shot at in the streets, and had low levels of education, asking for African-Americans to "Give Trump a chance". Many were angry at his assumptions, while some decided to support him. Trump also won over the support of some Hispanic supporters despite labelling Mexican immigrants as rapists and murderers, winning 20% of the Hispanic vote in Arizona by August 2016.

He also voiced his support for dictators such as Vladimir Putin of Russia and Kim Jong-un of North Korea, and both the Russian government and Russian hackers supported his campaign. On 24 August 2016, the controversial British politician Nigel Farage spoke out in support of Trump during his campaign in the American South, tying the two far-right politicians together.
